it's 16 degrees now. ok, my fingers are abit stiff now. eh u know i went for a jog this morning at a temp of less than 20 degrees in my shorts n t-shirt. so proud of myself but i mus say that i enjoyed jogging in that kinda weather. without strong winds, it's really nice to jog n i felt soooo good after that.
i made a huge fruit flan for paul n helen cos their relatives were here for lunch today. paul made a lovely shephard's pie which was really suitable for this climate. i liked it alot. dun mind having it again n again n again. i tried a greek dessert which paul's cousin bought. it's called custard pie. i cna't remember the greek name but i didn't like it. wonder how the greeks can take that kinda stuff. my fruit flan was once again a hit even tho i had an overbaked crust. it was so big. guess that kinda size will never be found in any pastry shops.
i read the book abt baking n am curious wat pastry flour is. then i discovered that it's a flour that is between plain n cake flour. so it's proteins is abt 8-10%. hmmmm....it's not commonly found. i'll try n find out more abt it. it's intersting to pick up all these kinda info.
